The early endeavors of the Harris Orthopaedic Lab contributed significantly to widely diverse aspects such as the first human limb replantation, osteoporosis, the cause of osteoarthritis of the hip, and the environment of human articular cartilage. Subsequent years were focused on improving total hip replacement surgery, reducing its most common and devastating problems. These ranged from fatal pulmonary emboli thru poor implant design to solutions for arthritis from total developmental dislocation, and finally to unraveling the mysteries of and ultimately to the elimination of a strange and dreaded, world wide disease which destroyed the bone around total hip replacements in a million patients. Results: His works have contributed to extensive improvement in musculoskeletal disease including to the the reduction in nearly every major complication of total hip surgery by an order of magnitude.

The Principles of Psychology Volume 1, complete with William James' original notes, illustrations, tables and charts clarifying the theory described and arguments made. Appearing in 1890, The Principles of Psychology was a landmark text which established psychology as a serious scientific discipline. William James' compiled a convincing, lengthy and broad thesis, devoting detail and vigorous analysis in every chapter. The text's comprehensiveness and superb presentation played a pivotal role in bringing the science of mental health closer toward the scholarly mainstream. The entire book is set out intuitively: there are two volumes, each of which has a certain number of chapters. While some chapters have sub-sections, James is careful not to make his textbook dry or convoluted in organisation. Each chapter introduces, discusses and concludes on a particular subject - whether it be the role of psychology as an academic and medical discipline, or the various functions of the human brain.

Charles Fort's classic recording of unexplained, paranormal events and phenomena offer fascinating insights into bizarre occurrences the author felt had been unjustly damned from formal, scientific study. The title derives from the author's perception that the book's subjects were so stigmatized and excluded from ordinary scientific inquiry that they had become 'damned'. Perhaps permanently forbade for formal study, the oddities and unexplained events in this text were felt worthy of attention by the author, who eventually became an authority on anomalous phenomena. The topics in Fort's thesis include unexplained disappearances of large groups of people, frogs and fish suddenly raining from the sky, the possibility that mythical beasts such as giants exist, UFOs manifest as glowing and sometimes moving lights in the sky, and bizarre weather phenomena. Fort attributes credence to many of these oddities, and argues that science - by dismissing them - has become a religion in itself.
